tax people and they want to dig in. i think republicans now realize eye don't know if they can carry the day on this-- but i think they now realize a smile, a lighter touch, talking about compromise, but staying tough to principle, repositioning themselves that could do a world of wonder. i think they just need a break now. i think they need the focus to be on the white house, the president and the democrats. >> ifill: what they're counting on then you're saying not that the vision will change but the implementation will be so unpopular for the white house they will then be able to regain their footin footing there that? >> in fact, the country is very concerned about spending. they're concerned about these huge deficits and debt. that's an argument that maybe republicans can get some traction on. i thought this was a good day for john boehner who has had a lot of bad days in leading the house. this was a crase where they had a retreat last weekend. people who were there said it was a very som bell retreat and they agre
